What happened
In a Help Net Security interview, KloudStax CTO Vinay Thakker advises that AI coding agents run under their own identity, with the user's identity attached when acting on their behalf. He also discusses common credential proxy mistakes, what a basic command policy should contain, and how to prevent data exfiltration via package installation.

What to do
- Give AI coding agents their own identity rather than sharing a user's credentials.
- Restrict the commands and network destinations available to coding agents, including package installs, to limit data leaving the environment.
